Boom goes Mancini!
Ray Mancini appeared old & washed up when Yordenis Ugas dropped down from 147 to violently take the WBC JWW crown from Ray via a 4th round TKO a couple years ago. Ugas dropped Ray twice & landed 47% of his punches to Ray's 16%.
So when new WBO JWW champ, Yves Ulysee, was offered a big $ fight with Ray in Youngstown, Ohio, Yves figured why not, what harm could a man 27 years older than him really do?
Turns out - a lot! Ray saw how Yves fought toe to toe & in the trenches with John Molina to win the crown & thought at worst he had a punchers chance.
Ray basically dominated the entire fight dropping Yves 3 times in the 1st 9 rounds with vicious hooks & in the 10th, 3 more hooks dropped Yves 3 more times & the fight was stopped @ 2:43 of the round due to the 3 KD rule.
Ray was up on the cards: 90-79, 88-80 & 89-79 as well as PL, 276 (28%)
to 153 (39%).
Ray's now 14-2-1 with 10 KO's
